Chapter One
Reuniting
It has been several days since the Arendelle freeze and I am still feeling quite guilty about the incident. Although, great things have followed since then. Hans has been sent back to the Southern Isles, Anna and Kristoff are now together and happy, the kingdom is at peace, I now have control over my powers, and best of all I can finally reconnect with Anna. Anna has been dividing her time between Kristoff and myself. Which I don't mind since I do have to deal with the politics of ruling a kingdom, but there are times where I want to drop it all and catch up on all the lost hours between us. Today especially. I was stuck in an "important" meeting about a ball being thrown here in a few months. The long drawn out conversation between the event planners about what should be cooked and what draping should be used was just going in one ear and out the other.
"I believe we should serve the finest of food to our guests. We should arrange tables in the dining room and then move to the ball room once the feast is over. There our guests shall dance the night away surrounded by elegant ice sculptures and our finest royal blue drapes. There will be a few tables for our guests that require to sit. Cake and refreshments will also be served in the ballroom." Phillip exclaimed to John. John couldn't disagree more.
"No! No! NO! The whole event will be held in the ballroom where our guest can indulge in the finest hors d'oeuvres, fruits and vegetables. Champagne and other refreshments will be served. I do agree on the chairs and cake being served as well. But your decoration ideas are hardly of proper use. I'm sure the Queen doesn't want any more ice in the room than there needs to be!" John was practically yelling at Phillip. I had my elbow propped up on the table with my head resting in my hand. I had stopped listening directly to their conversation quite some time ago. I was now playing with the small mound of snow I created on the table. I was making small snowmen and other things when my thoughts were broken by the calling of my own name.
"Queen. Your majesty, don't you agree?" John questioned. I stared blankly at both of them. Trying to conjure up any part of their conversation I could remember. Just then, the village clock rang 8 o'clock. I was relieved.
"Gentlemen, I will consider all of your thoughts and recommendations. I am tired and I wish to retire. We will pick up on this soon." The men's faces were in shock. They seemed bothered that I was finished with business that I didn't truly care for. On my way out, I whispered the royal record keeper and told him to send up a copy of tonight's business to my chamber as soon as he was done recording all the information. He nodded and I returned to my chambers.
I walked down the palace halls feeling a sense of relief. It was the end of a very busy week and I was finally getting into the weekend where I only had emergency meetings. The weekends were totally up to my own discretions. I dabbled in my desires. Mostly I just read, practiced my strengths in the courtyard, and now being able to spend time with Anna. Kristoff used the weekend to go up to the mountains to gather ice. Although I could just produce it myself, Kristoff enjoyed his alone time as well. I entered my chambers and decided to take a relaxing bath. I released my ice gown from myself and it disappeared into the air. I took in a deep breath and rubbed my neck. I heard a snickered and I realized I wasn't alone. I quickly created a top and bottom to cover my naked body. I turned to see Anna sitting on my bed laughing.
"Anna! What are you doing in here?"
"Well, I knew you had a long day of meetings and I thought you'd want to talk about something less boring." She was still snickering. She turned to where she was upside down hanging off the bed. Just being her normal goofy self. "I wasn't expecting to get a show too." She somehow managed to giggle out. I looked at her gave her a devilish look. Two can play that game Anna! I thought. She noticed my face and suddenly the laughter stopped and she knew she was in trouble. I froze the door shut. She sat up straight in the bed.
"You're on Anna!" I started to run toward the bed going in to tickle her. She quickly jumped off the bed and was running too. I was chasing her down for a while then I just decided to put a little ice under her feet. Anna noticed and she shot me a dirty look. She was trying to balance herself and I was now the one laughing. I walked towards her and in that moment she fell. I caught her as she landed on top of me. We both collided with the floor and screamed and laughed. Suddenly there was a banging at the door.
"Your majesty! Are you all right? We heard screaming and a thump. Are you okay?" Gertrude was banging on the door and trying to jiggle the knob to get in.
"Oh I am fine. Anna is in here and we were having a tickling war. She lost! Sorry to worry you Gertrude!"
"Are you sure you're okay? I could come in to make sure but the door seems jammed." She said while still trying to open the door. I reassured her that we were fine and she walked away.
Anna was still lying on top of me, "Now you should know by now that any game of chase can quickly be cut off with ice." I reached out my index finger and touched her nose. Her eyes went crossed eyed and she smirked. She tried to get off and I propped myself up on my elbows trying not to move so she'd have less of a chance of falling. When it appeared that she had her balance, I started to get up myself but I guess I hit her foot in the midst of getting up.
"Elsaaa," She yelped as she fell back down on top of me. I caught her again but this time the fall made our lips meet. Anna fell right to where we kissed. Both of our eyes widen at the contact, but then suddenly I felt more pressure on my lips and I noticed Anna had closed her eyes. My body was on fire for once. There was my sister kissing me, and yet I wasn't doing anything about it. This overwhelming feeling of something so wrong but oh so right filled every inch of me. I snapped out of it, and pulled away from the kiss. I looked down and noticed that the ice had melted into water. I quickly washed it away. Mine and Anna's faces were both of shock.
"Well that was quite a fall. Let me help you up." I said while laughing. Completely ignoring what just happened, I extended my hand to Anna and helped her up. Anna laughed awkwardly as she stood up. We were both just staring at each other thinking did that really just happen. Anna then looked down and her eyes got big.
"Elsa, the ice on the floor wasn't the only thing on the floor that melted." She could barely get the words out as she pointed at my torso. I was almost afraid to look down but when I finally did, I noticed that I was once again naked. I covered myself with my arms and ran into the bathroom and locked the door.
"I'm sorry Anna. I'm going to bathe now and go to bed." I yelled out to her.
"Well I would leave but your door is still frozen!" Of course, that would be the only damn ice that didn't melt. I cracked the door and with a wave of my hand unfroze the door. I glanced at Anna who was standing in the middle of my chambers. She had one of her arms wrapped around her waist and the other one was up at her face. I looked harder and saw that she was touching her lips. She looked lost in thought. She noticed the door was unfrozen and thanked me and left. I closed the door and leaned up against it. Just as Anna did, I reached up and touched my lips. There was a tingling sensation there from her lips. Anna's lips. I shook my head and pushed away what thoughts were starting to arise. I took in several deep breaths and decided I should take that bath.
ANNA POV
I got back to my chamber and sat down on my bed. I felt myself touching my lips again. Still feeling the lingering taste of Elsa's lips. Did I really just kiss my sister? Why did it feel good? Why do I feel all tingly? This was wrong, but something about it felted right. I had never felt like that kissing Kristoff. I got up and changed into my night gown trying to push away every thought I was having. I decided sleep was the best idea. I was hoping to escape these thoughts I was having. They were so wrong, but they made my body feel so right. I tossed and turned in my sleep that night.
